"Therefore, the player will not travel with the team to the match against Tunisia in Lille. No other player will be called up to replace him.""

Gabriel is not the only Arsenal defender nursing an injury, with Riccardo Calafiori also leaving the Italy squad ahead of their meeting with Norway on Sunday."
